Really the best way to see Costa Rica is to Drive it. We used a company called Go Drive Tours and did a 8 day tour of the pacific side. They set up our hotels and maps with cell phone and GPS. They are unbeatable if you want to drive it. More

We were the only two people on the tour - so we got Ted to ourselves for the... More

Hey Ted, Thanks for a great time! I enjoyed everything from the discussions we had on our trip to lunch at that awesome soda. You made it something to remember Costa Rica by! I will definitely look you up next time I am there. More
